    Idiot designer.

    So...There is this local kid who seems to have a fair bit of talent when it comes to designing glossy flyers and promo materials for local raves and such. I decided to throw the kid some work about a month ago and had intended on helping him build a portfolio of adult website work.

    Turns out that this kid has the worst luck ever and those problems are compounded by his ADHD. PLUS he thinks he already knows it all at 21 years of age.

    I knew his computer sucked ass so I offered to have him work on one of my workstations. He chose not to.

    The first design.....Computer crashed...Design lost.

    Second design.......Turns out it was his room mates computer and the room mate got pissed and moved out......Design lost.

    Third design.......The idiot used spare parts to build his own computer....It died on him yesterday....Design lost.

    So then this morning...He stops by with a CD to show me what he has been working on all night with his patched computer.....What a peice of shit site it is. It is NOTHING like the original design or the sketches that we initially put together.

    You try to give somebody a break and all they seem to be capable of is fucking up.

              that sux


              what was the design supposed to be
              SIG TOO SMALL! Maximum 1200x600 button and no more than 30 text lines of ALL SIZES and COLORS. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 6240x4800 instead of a 1024x800.

                          At that age, many people don't have a clue what work ethics are.... It's too bad that he blew his chance.

                          Disclaimer: I also realize there are very hard working younger people, it's just not the "norm".

                                      That really sucks. It sounds like he was doing everything he could to make the site. Bad things happen in threes. I think this is that kid's sign that he shouldn't be working for you.

                                              Sure giving the kid a break was a nice gesture,but realistically..time is money and nothing beats an experienced designer.

I decided to throw the kid some work about a month ago and had intended on helping him build a portfolio of adult website work.

                                                                                              Turns out that this kid has the worst luck ever and those problems are compounded by his ADHD. PLUS he thinks he already knows it all at 21 years of age.

                                                                                              I knew his computer sucked ass so I offered to have him work on one of my workstations. He chose not to.

                                                                                              The first design.....Computer crashed...Design lost.

                                                                                              Second design.......Turns out it was his room mates computer and the room mate got pissed and moved out......Design lost.

                                                                                              Third design.......The idiot used spare parts to build his own computer....It died on him yesterday....Design lost.

                                                                                              So then this morning...He stops by with a CD to show me what he has been working on all night with his patched computer.....What a peice of shit site it is. It is NOTHING like the original design or the sketches that we initially put together.

                                                                                              You try to give somebody a break and all they seem to be capable of is fucking up.
